The Lexington Medical Center Foundation is home to the Crystal Smith Breast Cancer Fund, which provides needed supplies to women undergoing cancer treatment. It’s named in honor of hospital employee Crystal Smith, who died of breast cancer in her early 40s. Today, Crystal’s story has inspired her daughter to help others.

Since 2011, we have been proud to provide a forum for women of the Midlands to share their life experiences with a larger audience. Over the years, we have had many bloggers participate and write about countless topics. We are honored that they choose to share their stories with us!

If you haven’t checked out the Every Woman Blog recently, we invite you to stop by and read contributions from our wonderful bloggers. Some recent highlights include:

Shannon has been writing on the blog for several years and we love her passion for creativity, art and family. She recently wrote about role models, an important topic for any parent!

Lisa has been challenged by dementia diagnoses for both of her parents. She has been very candid and honest about the rough year her family has endured.
